Description

SPRING BASKET OF FRINGES OF A SOFT FRIDGE BROOM

AND ABSORBENTS

The invention relates to a fringing basket of fringes of a mop with soft and absorbent mops for washing the floor like a mop. The invention extends to a wringer comprising such a basket and means for fixing to a bucket. In particular, the invention extends to a dewatering device comprising a bucket with which is assembled such a wringer.

Many devices are known for spinning soft and absorbent fringes of a mop. Some of these wiping devices are adapted to wring fringes soaked with a liquid by compressing these fringes. To do this, these devices generally comprise a dewatering basket having a perforated wall defining a cavity for receiving the fringes of the blade, the receiving cavity extending from a main opening of the basket allowing the passage of the fringes in and out of said receiving cavity. A user can then exert a force on the mop to the perforated wall of the wiper basket so that its fringes are pressed against the perforated wall of the wiper basket so as to wring the fringes of the mop. The wringing of fringes by such wiping devices is therefore difficult, exhausting and requires dexterity of the user.

Other devices for wiping the soft and absorbent fringes of a mop are suitable for spinning fringes by centrifugal effect. For example, US 2012/0192373 proposes a wiper device comprising a bucket and a wiper basket, a portion of a bottom of the bucket being raised to serve as a support for the wiper basket. Such a wiper device is adapted to cooperate with a mop head that can be rotated by rotary pulse exerted by a mop handle, in particular by means of a worm device placed in the handle of the wiper blade. fringes as proposed by US 8,959,697. The raised portion of the bottom of the bucket further comprises a bearing for guiding the spin basket in rotation when the head of the mop is placed in the spin basket and a rotary pulse is exerted by the handle of the broom with fringes so as to train in rotation the head of the mop. Other wiping devices, such as that proposed by US 2012/0047675, are adapted to drive a wiper basket from an assembled pedal to the bucket of the wiper device.

Generally, the wiper basket of the wiping devices adapted for centrifugally spinning fringes comprises a means for fixing and locking a head of a mop comprising fastening means conjugated with the fixing means and locking the spin basket. These fixing means make it easier to drive the head of the mop in rotation so as to simplify the wringing of its fringes. Nevertheless, such a spin basket is then only dedicated to operate with mops including fastening means conjugated to the fixing means and locking the wiper basket. It is therefore not possible for a user to use a mop head with a spin basket when this mop head and wiper basket have not been designed to work together. In addition, the wiping of the fringes of a mop by such wiping devices is generally relatively long and requires prolonged effort of the user.

The invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.

The invention therefore aims to provide a spinning device adapted to operate with any type of soft and absorbent mop, that is to say with any form of mop head, with any kind of fringes (bands or fibers, of cotton or fabric, synthetic or natural, of different lengths and thicknesses), with broom heads guided or not in rotation with respect to a handle of the mop ...

The invention also aims to provide such a spin device optimizing the spin of the fringes and allowing a quick and easy spin for a user.

The invention aims in particular to provide a drying basket adapted to spin any type of mop.

To do this, the invention relates to a fringing basket of fringes of a mop with soft and absorbent fringes, this basket comprising a cavity receiving broom fringes, and a main opening for passing the fringes into and out of said receiving cavity,

characterized in that it comprises, opposite the main opening, a protuberance:

- extending towards the main opening,

arranged to guide the fringes towards a lateral peripheral part of the receiving cavity extending between the protuberance and the main opening, and in that the receiving cavity comprises a confinement narrowing delimiting a passage opening opposite to the protuberance , the passage opening having a section smaller than a maximum section of the receiving cavity, said maximum section being orthogonal to an axis, said longitudinal axis, of the receiving cavity passing through the main opening and the protrusion, of so that broom fringes can be confined in the receiving cavity.

In particular, the protuberance of a basket according to the invention being located opposite the main opening, and therefore at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and extending towards the main opening, allows, by tracing at least a portion of the fringes along the lateral peripheral portion of the receiving cavity, compressing the fringes and dewatering them when a downward vertical pressure force is exerted by the wiper against the bottom of the receiving cavity while the fringes are inserted into the receiving cavity.

Thus, a wiper basket according to the invention allows to wring soft and absorbent fringes of any kind and / or any size. For example, the fringes may be strips or fibers, of cotton or fabric, synthetic or natural, of different length and thickness. In addition, a wiper basket according to the invention is also suitable for spinning fringes carried by a broom head of any kind and / or of any shape and / or of any size, as soon as this broom head is adapted to be able to pass, with the fringes, by the principal opening. It may be particularly as well a mop head adapted to be rotated, as a broom head fixed relative to the handle of the mop. In a basket according to the invention, the protuberance can be formed both in one piece with a perforated wall of the basket defining the bottom of the receiving cavity, or on the contrary of a piece attached to this perforated wall at the bottom of the the receiving cavity. In certain preferred embodiments according to the invention the protuberance is formed by the perforated wall, which is advantageously a molded plastic part.

In a basket according to the invention, the protuberance may or may not be perforated; with or without passing lights; formed in a single continuous block of material or of several sections or disjoint parts.

In certain embodiments of a basket according to the invention, the protuberance has inclined flanks with respect to an axis, said longitudinal axis, of the receiving cavity passing through the main opening and the protuberance, said inclined flanks being approaching the longitudinal axis towards the main opening. Such inclined flanks improve the guiding of the fringes of the blade towards the lateral peripheral part of the receiving cavity.

These inclined flanks may be concave, convex, frustoconical or any other form. In some embodiments, they are advantageously concave (seen from inside the receiving cavity) by connecting continuously (that is to say without a ridge) to a wall, in particular a perforated wall, of the basket delimiting the lateral peripheral part of the receiving cavity, also concave.

Furthermore, in certain preferred embodiments, a basket according to the invention is also characterized in that the main opening has a center, in that said longitudinal axis passes through this center, and in that said inclined flanks extend around the longitudinal axis and are centered on this longitudinal axis. In other words, the trace of the intersection of the inclined flanks with any theoretical plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis is a curve which has a center placed on the longitudinal axis. Thus, the protuberance can be called a central protuberance. Preferably, the inclined flanks are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis. They can be in particular symmetrical of revolution about the longitudinal axis (said trace being a circle). In some advantageous embodiments of the invention, the protuberance has a shape such that it is contained in a theoretically symmetrical envelope surface of revolution about the longitudinal axis.

In some embodiments of the invention the protuberance is symmetrical in revolution about the longitudinal axis. The protuberance is for example in the general shape of a bell, or generally frustoconical or cone of revolution about the longitudinal axis.

In other possible embodiments, the protuberance is not itself symmetrical about the longitudinal axis. It is for example in the form of pyramid or truncated pyramid.

The inclined flanks are more or less inclined relative to the longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, said inclined flanks have an inclination with respect to the longitudinal axis of between 95 ° and 170 °. In general, this inclination can be defined as follows. We consider :

a first intersection curve between a (theoretical) plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis passing through the reception cavity and which is at the greatest possible distance from the main opening,

a second intersection curve between a (theoretical) plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis passing through the protuberance and which is at the smallest possible distance from the main opening.

Any plane (theoretical) radial to the longitudinal axis containing the longitudinal axis intersects each of these two curves at a point of intersection. We can therefore define a line passing through these two points of intersection, as well as the angle formed between this line and the longitudinal axis. This angle represents the inclination of the inclined flanks with respect to the longitudinal axis.

Furthermore, in a basket according to the invention, the protuberance has a greater or lesser height. In some embodiments advantageously and according to the invention the main opening has a center and the height of the protuberance defined between: a (theoretical) plane passing through the receiving cavity at the greatest possible distance from the main opening and orthogonal to an axis, said longitudinal axis, of the receiving cavity passing through the center of the main opening and by the protuberance,

and a (theoretical) plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis passing through the protuberance and which is at the smallest possible distance from the main opening, is between 5 mm and 30 mm.

In certain preferred embodiments in accordance with the invention, the protuberance has a plane or convex apex (seen from the inside of the receiving cavity). In other words, the inclined flanks meet in the same vertex (plane or convex) of the protuberance. Advantageously, this vertex passes through said longitudinal axis. More particularly, this vertex is centered on the longitudinal axis.

The containment constriction allows the fringes of a mop up to the side portion of the receiving cavity to be tucked toward this confinement narrowing in the receiving cavity when a pressure force is exerted by a mop head. towards the bottom of the receiving cavity. Thus, the confinement narrowing allows confinement of the fringes of a mop in the receiving cavity between the narrowing and said bottom of the receiving cavity.

The central protuberance allows, by raising at least a portion of the fringes along the lateral peripheral portion of the receiving cavity, to bring the fringes to the confinement narrowing which flaps in the receiving cavity. Thus, the combination of the central protuberance and the confinement shrinkage makes it possible to improve the confinement of the fringes in the receiving cavity and thus to improve the wringing of the fringes.

In certain preferred embodiments, the passage opening is positioned between the main opening and the protuberance and has dimensions smaller than those of the main opening so as to have a flare between the passage opening and the opening. main opening. The passage opening is therefore formed by a narrowing of the basket from the opening main. In some other embodiments, the passage opening is merged with the main opening.

In addition, preferably, the passage opening is spaced from the bottom of the cavity by a distance of between 80 mm and 130 mm.

More particularly, the passage opening is preferably circular. The passage opening has for example a diameter of between 80 mm and 95 mm, more particularly of the order of 85 mm, while the receiving cavity has a maximum width of between 130 mm and 150 mm, in particular of order of 145 mm.

In some embodiments of the invention, the confinement narrowing is a circular rim about said longitudinal axis and extending projecting from the lateral peripheral portion of the receiving cavity toward said longitudinal axis.

In certain preferred embodiments and according to the invention, the basket comprises a plurality of containment tongues forming said confinement narrowing of the receiving cavity and being uniformly and regularly distributed around the receiving cavity.

In particular, each containment tab extends projecting from a lateral portion, delimiting the lateral portion of the receiving cavity, from the perforated wall towards the longitudinal axis. Preferably, each containment tab has a rounded tip-shaped end oriented towards the longitudinal axis. The passage opening is then delimited by the tips of the containment tongues.

The containment tabs extend in a radial plane to the longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity. In particular, each containment tongue comprises a edge facing the longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity and defining a thickness of the confinement tongue, said edge having a portion, called lower edge, facing said bottom of the cavity of the receiving and being extended from the tip of the containment tongue by a portion, said upper edge, said edge, said upper edge being opposite the main opening of the basket. Thus, the lower song forms with singing greater than the level of the tip an angle less than 180 °, more particularly between 45 ° and 120 °, for example of the order of 95 °.

In addition, the upper edge of each containment tab forms with an axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity an angle less than 90 °, more particularly between 20 ° and 60 °, for example of the order of 27 ° or of the order of 45 °. Thus, the upper edge of the containment tabs allows for a flare between the passage opening and the main opening to better guide the fringes and the head of a mop when they are inserted into the receiving cavity of the spin basket.

In addition, the lower edge of each containment tab forms with an axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity an angle less than 90 °, more particularly between 15 ° and 65 °, for example of the order of 24 ° or of the order of 58 °. Thus, the lower edge of the containment tabs guides the fringes and the head of a mop when removed from the receiving cavity of the spin basket.

In addition, the containment tongues allow the confinement of the fringes of a mop in the receiving cavity between the lower edge of the containment tabs and the bottom of the receiving cavity.

More particularly, in some of these embodiments of the invention, at least one containment tongue has a edge, a portion of which, said lower edge, facing the bottom of the receiving cavity has a concave shape with respect to the cavity reception. In particular, the lower edge of this containment tab has a radius of curvature of between 30 mm and 80 mm, more particularly of the order of 40 mm.

The concave shape of the lower edge of at least one containment tongue makes it possible to facilitate the winding of the fringes so as to optimize the confinement of the fringes in the receiving cavity.

In addition, in certain advantageous embodiments of the invention, certain tabs, called secondary containment tabs, have major faces having an area smaller than an area of the main faces of certain other tongues, said main containment tabs, the secondary containment tabs and the main containment tabs being placed alternately around the receiving cavity.

In particular, the secondary containment tabs extend towards the longitudinal axis a distance less than that of the main tabs.

Thus, the use of main and secondary containment tongues makes it possible both to reduce the passage opening for centering the broom head at insertion by means of the main tongues and to facilitate the insertion of the fringes into the cavity. receiving thanks to the secondary tabs farther from the longitudinal axis while maintaining a significant confinement shrinkage by combining all the tabs.

More particularly, the main containment tabs have a lower edge having a concave shape.

In addition, the secondary containment tabs have a lower edge having a flat shape.

In certain advantageous embodiments of the invention, the basket also comprises a plurality of fins extending radially in the receiving cavity from the receiving cavity side portion to the bottom of the receiving cavity towards the receiving cavity. longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity so as to divide the receiving cavity into quarters while maintaining a central space of the free receiving cavity to place the head of a mop. The fins allow to separate the fringes of a mop in the quarters of the cavity. Thus, the fins make it possible to improve the confinement of the fringes of a mop in the receiving cavity. They also allow better evacuation of the liquid because they prevent a liquid escaping from the fringes placed in a neighborhood of the receiving cavity is absorbed by the fringes placed in a different area of the receiving cavity. In addition, the fins make it possible to stabilize the spin drying basket by keeping the mop head centered on the longitudinal axis. In particular, the distance between diametrically opposed vanes in the receiving cavity decreases towards the bottom of the receiving cavity so as to hold the mop head as it sinks into the receiving cavity when a pressing force is exerted by the mop handle to rotate the head of the mop.

The central protuberance makes it possible to easily guide the fringes of a mop in the areas of the receiving cavity delimited by the fins of the basket. The combination of the central protuberance with the fins thus makes it possible to improve the spinning of the fringes (reducing the time and effort required for wringing the fringes, for example).

In addition, the combination of containment shrinkage with the fins makes it possible to improve the confinement of the fringes so as to improve the wringing of the fringes (reducing the time and effort required for wringing the fringes, for example).

The combination of the central protuberance with the confinement shrinkage and the fins thus makes it possible to optimize the wiping of the fringes of a mop (optimization of the time and effort required for wringing the fringes, for example).

More particularly, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the basket comprises:

- a perforated tank having a perforated wall defining the receiving cavity from the main opening,

an attached crown forming said containment tabs,

- The perforated tank and the reported ring being fixed rigidly but separably with respect to each other.

More particularly, in certain preferred embodiments of the invention, the containment tongues of the reported crown pass through the so-called passage openings of the perforated wall.

In some embodiments of the invention, the perforated tank comprises the central protuberance and said fins. Nevertheless, in certain other embodiments of the invention, the perforated tank comprises only the central protuberance. In addition, in certain other embodiments of the invention, the perforated tank comprises only said fins.

More particularly, the reported crown comprises a cylindrical wall -notamment a cylindrical wall of revolution- about a central axis and the containment tabs protrude from this cylindrical wall of revolution. Preferably, said perforated tank and said attached ring are coaxial along the central axis. Preferably, the central axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the receiving cavity. The containment tabs of said insert ring protrude from the cylindrical wall of revolution of said ring geared towards the central axis. The cylindrical wall of revolution of said attached ring is placed around the side portion of said perforated tank so that the containment tabs of said ring insert pass through the openings of the perforated tank to the receiving cavity.

More particularly, said attached ring has between each containment tab and the cylindrical wall of revolution a housing facing the main opening of the wiper basket. This housing allows to receive and support said perforated tank by placing a wall of the perforated tank in this housing when the containment tab is placed in a slot of the perforated tank. Preferably, the housing has a length at least substantially equal to a thickness of the wall of the perforated tank, between the cylindrical wall of revolution of said reported crown and the containment tab.

In addition, each containment tab has a top extending above the cylindrical wall and the main opening of the wiper basket. Thus the containment tabs can block any transverse movement of said perforated tank.

The use of these two parts (the perforated tank and the reported crown) separated to form the wiper basket facilitates the manufacture of a wiper basket according to the invention. The invention also extends to a mop wringer of a soft and absorbent mop, characterized in that it comprises a wringing basket according to the invention and means of assembly to a bucket so as to be able to be placed at least partly inside this bucket.

In particular, in certain advantageous embodiments of the invention, the wringer comprises a support comprising said assembly means, the support being assembled to the wringing basket. For example, said assembly means may be a flange, said assembly flange, projecting from the support in a direction opposite to the spin basket. In particular, the assembly flange has a shaped housing conjugate to at least a portion of a perimeter of an opening of a bucket. Thus, the assembly flange can be placed on this portion of the periphery of the opening of the bucket to assemble the wringer to the bucket.

Thus, the invention also extends to a dewatering device comprising a bucket and a wringer connected to the bucket, characterized in that the wringer is a wringer according to the invention.

Thus, the water drained is poured into the bucket through the openings of the perforated wall of the wiper basket of a wringer according to the invention.

In addition, in a wiper device according to the invention, the wiper basket is guided in rotation relative to the bucket.

In some embodiments, the wiper basket is guided in rotation relative to the bucket by means of a guiding device assembled at the bottom of a perforated wall of the basket delimiting the cavity for receiving the fringes. For example, a bearing, such as a ball bearing, can be placed in a housing of said bottom of the perforated wall placed on a face of the bottom of the perforated wall opposite to the receiving cavity of the basket and a shaft oriented in a direction. axis of rotation of the wiper basket can be placed in the bearing and connected to a fixed body such as a bucket or a support of the wringer extending around the perforated wall of the wiper basket and in particular around the bottom of the openwork wall.

In certain other embodiments according to the invention, the wiper basket is guided in rotation relative to the bucket by means of a device for guide positioned at the side of the perforated wall of the wiper basket. For example, in some of these advantageous embodiments, a wringer according to the invention comprises a support adapted to support the basket. In addition, the support may comprise a circular groove in which can be placed a cage comprising rolling members. Said attached ring may also comprise a collar projecting from the cylindrical wall opposite the containment tongues and having a circular groove oriented towards the throat of the wringer support in order to be able to place the collar on the cage and the rolling bodies. Thus, said reported ring of the wiper basket is guided in rotation relative to the support about an axis of rotation, preferably coincides with the longitudinal axis of the cavity. In particular, said reported ring of the wiper basket is rotated by a rotation of said perforated tank wiper basket which rotates the containment tabs of said reported ring.

In certain advantageous embodiments, the rotation of the basket is made from a rotation of a mop head when a handle of this wiper comprises a screw device as described for example US 8,959,697. Nevertheless, when the wiper basket is guided in rotation by a guide device assembled to said bottom of the perforated wall, the rotation of the basket can be achieved by a pedal as described for example by US 2012/047675.

The rotation of a mop head makes it possible to spin fringes of this broom thanks to a centrifugal effect resulting from this rotation. In addition, the centrifugal effect makes it possible to keep the fringes pressed against the perforated wall so as to increase the compression of the fringes against the perforated wall so that the effectiveness of the wringing of the fringes is increased tenfold.

A wiper device according to the invention thus makes it possible to combine the compression of the fringes of a mop with the perforated wall of the wiper basket and the centrifugal effect resulting from the rotation of the head of this mop mop. in order to optimize the spinning of the fringes of this mop. A wringing device according to the invention thus makes it possible to wring soft and absorbent fringes of a mop quickly and non-exhaustively for a user.

The invention also relates to a dewatering basket, a wringer and a wringing device characterized in combination by all or some of the characteristics mentioned above or below.

FIG. 8 is a view in longitudinal section of a wringer according to another embodiment,

FIG. 9 is a view from above of a wiper device comprising the wringer of FIG. 8. A device 20 for wringing soft and absorbent fringes of a mop pad 44 according to the invention, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a bucket 21 and a wringer 22 shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. The wringer 22 comprises a support 23 assembled to the bucket 21 and a wiper basket 24 assembled to the support 23.

The wiper basket 24 comprises a perforated tank 25 defining a cavity 26 for receiving the fringes of the wiper 44.

Said perforated tank comprises a perforated wall 76 having a thickness of, for example, between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm, more particularly of the order of 2 mm. The wall 76 of the perforated tank 25 defines the cavity 26 for receiving the fringes of the blade. In particular, the receiving cavity 26 is symmetrical about an axis 27, said longitudinal axis.

The perforated tank 25 comprises an upper main opening 68 allowing the passage of fringes 47 of a mop brush 44.

In addition, the main opening 68 is defined on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27. The main opening 68 is preferably circular, centered on the longitudinal axis 27, and has for example a diameter of between 140 mm and 160 mm, more particularly of the order of 148 mm.

Said perforated tank 25 also comprises opposite the main opening 68, that is to say at the bottom of the receiving cavity 26, a lower central protuberance 31 extending towards the main opening.

The central protuberance 31 is formed in one piece with the perforated wall 76. In particular, the protuberance is formed by the perforated wall 76, which is advantageously a molded plastic part.

The central protuberance 31 has flanks 71 inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 27, the inclined flanks 71 approaching the longitudinal axis 27 towards the main opening 68. Such inclined flanks 71 improve the guiding of the brush fringes to a lateral portion of the wall 76 of the perforated tank 25 between the central protuberance 31 and the main opening 68.

These inclined flanks 71 are concave (seen from the inside of the receiving cavity) and connect continuously (that is to say without ridge) to the part lateral, also concave, of the perforated wall. In certain embodiments of the invention, inclined flanks 71 may be convex, frustoconical or any other form.

The inclined flanks 71 extend around the longitudinal axis 27 and are centered on this longitudinal axis 27. In other words, the trace of the intersection of the inclined flanks 71 with any theoretical plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27 is a curve which has a center placed on the longitudinal axis 27. The inclined flanks 71 are symmetrical around the longitudinal axis 27.

Thus, the central protuberance 31 is symmetrical in revolution about the longitudinal axis 27. In particular, the central protuberance 31 is in the general shape of a bell.

In certain embodiments (not shown), the central protrusion 31 is generally frustoconical or cone-shaped around the longitudinal axis 27. In some other possible embodiments, the central protrusion 31 is not itself symmetrical about the longitudinal axis 27. It is for example in the form of pyramid or truncated pyramid.

The inclined flanks 71 are more or less inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis 27. The inclined flanks 71 have an inclination relative to the longitudinal axis 27 between 95 ° and 150 °. In general, this inclination can be defined as follows. We consider :

a first intersection curve between a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27 passing through the perforated wall and which is at the greatest distance possible from the main opening 68,

a second intersection curve between a plane orthogonal to the axis

27 passing through the central protuberance 31 and which is the smallest possible distance from the main opening.

Any plane radial to the longitudinal axis 27 and containing the longitudinal axis 27 intersects each of these two curves at a point of intersection. We can therefore define a line passing through these two points of intersection, as well as the angle formed between this line and the longitudinal axis. This angle represents the inclination of the flanks 71 inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 27.

Moreover, in a basket according to the invention, the protuberance has a greater or lesser height. The height of the central protuberance 31 defined between:

a plane passing through the receiving cavity 26 at the greatest possible distance from the main opening 68 and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27,

and a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27 passing through the central protuberance 31 and which is at the smallest distance possible from the main opening 68,

is between 5 mm and 30 mm.

In addition, the central protrusion 31 has a convex apex 33 (seen from the inside of the receiving cavity). In other words, the inclined flanks 71 meet in the same vertex 33 of the central protrusion 31. This vertex 33 passes through the longitudinal axis 27. More particularly, this apex 33 is centered on the longitudinal axis 27. In certain embodiments of the invention, the central protuberance 31 has a plane apex 33 orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27.

Said perforated tank 25 has a concave shape (viewed from the inside of the receiving cavity) between the central protuberance 31 and said lateral part of said perforated tank.

More particularly, the concave shape between the central protuberance 31 and the lateral portion of said perforated tank has a radius of curvature of between 20 mm and 100 mm, for example of the order of 35 mm.

However, in certain embodiments (not shown) according to the invention, a perforated tank 25 has edges between the central protuberance 31 the side portion of said perforated tank.

The wall 76 of the perforated tank 25 has a plurality of passage openings 29 for the liquid escaping from the fringes 47 of a mop pad 44 during the dewatering process. These lights 29 can have all shapes and sizes. These lights 29 are arranged around the longitudinal axis 27. In In particular, each lumen 29 extends in a plane radial to the longitudinal axis 27 and containing this longitudinal axis 27. In addition, the lumens 29 extend over part of the height of the lateral part of the wall of the perforated tank. Thus, the lights 29 separate the wall of the spindle-shaped tank 30.

The lights 29 have in particular a width of between 2 mm and 7 mm, more particularly of the order of 4 mm. The lights 29 allow the evacuation outside the cavity 26 for receiving a liquid from a spin of the fringes 47 of a broom 44 with fringes.

Each spindle 30 of the perforated tank has a rib 53 projecting outwardly of the receiving cavity. The rib 53 makes it possible to increase the rigidity of the basket.

Furthermore, the wall 76 of the perforated tank has a thickness of between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, more particularly of the order of 2 mm.

Preferably, the perforated tank has a reinforced bottom 28 (opposite the main opening). To do this, the side portion of the wall 76 of the perforated tank 25 has an increasing thickness from the main opening 68 to the central protrusion 31. In this way, the perforated tank 25 can be lightened in the upper part but resist a force applied by a mop head 46 against the bottom of the perforated tank 25.

Furthermore, the wiper basket 24 comprises an attached ring 34 having a cylindrical wall of revolution about the longitudinal axis 27 positioned around the lateral portion of the perforated tank. Preferably, the cylindrical wall has a diameter at least substantially equal to the sum of the diameter of the main opening 68 and the thickness of the wall 76 of the perforated vessel. For example, the diameter of the cylindrical wall is between 143 mm and 165 mm, more particularly of the order of 152 mm. More particularly, said perforated tank and said attached ring are coaxial along the longitudinal axis 27.

Said attached crown 34 comprises a plurality of tongues 36, 37 of confinement uniformly and uniformly distributed around the longitudinal axis 27 and extending each protruding from the cylindrical wall towards the longitudinal axis 27 to a free end forming at least substantially a point 48 of the tongue 36, 37 confinement. The tongues 36, 37 for confinement then form a containment narrowing of the receiving cavity 26. More particularly, the tabs 36, 37 for confining said ring gear 34 pass through the openings 29 of the perforated tank 25 towards the receiving cavity 26. Preferably, the tip 48 of at least one tongue is rounded. In particular, the tongues 36, 37 of confinement extend projecting over a distance making it possible to obtain between the free ends of the tongues 36, 37 for confinement an opening 69 for the passage of the fringes and a head 46 for cleaning the blade 44. fringes wearing these fringes. Preferably, the opening 69 for the passage of the ring 34 attached is circular and has a diameter for example between 80 mm and 95 mm, more particularly of the order of 85 mm. In addition, the opening 69 of the passage of the ring 34 reported and the main opening 68 are coaxial along the longitudinal axis 27.

More particularly, said attached ring 34 has between each tab 36, 37 of confinement and the cylindrical wall of revolution a housing 43 facing the opening of the wiper basket. This housing 43 can receive and support said perforated tank 25 by placing the wall 76 of the perforated tank 25 in the housing 43 when the tab 36, 37 of confinement is placed in a slot 29 of the perforated tank 25. Preferably, the housing 43 has between the cylindrical wall of revolution of said ring 34 reported and the tongue 36, 37 of confinement a length at least substantially equal to a thickness of the perforated vessel.

In addition, each containment tab 36, 37 has an apex 42 extending above the cylindrical wall and the main opening 68 of the wiper basket 24. Thus the tongues 36, 37 containment allow to block any transverse movement of said perforated vessel.

Each tongue comprises a song 39 facing the longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26 and defining a thickness of the tongue, the edge 39 having a portion, called the lower edge 40, facing said bottom 28 of said perforated tank 25 and being extended from the free end of the tongue by a portion, called the upper edge 41, the edge 39, said upper edge 41 being opposite the main opening 68 of the basket. Thus, the lower edge 40 forms with the upper edge 41 at the free end an angle less than 180 °, more particularly between 48 ° and 120 °, for example of the order of 95 °.

Some tongues, called secondary containment tongues 37, extend towards the longitudinal axis 27 for a distance less than that of certain other tongues, said main containment tabs 36, the secondary containment tongues 37 and the main containment tabs 36 being placed alternately around the longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26.

In particular, the main tabs 36 extend towards the longitudinal axis 27 over a distance of, for example, between 20 mm and 40 mm, more particularly of the order of 31 mm. In addition, the secondary tongues 37 extend towards the longitudinal axis 27 over a distance of, for example, between 10 mm and 25 mm, more particularly of the order of 18 mm.

Thus, the use of main tongues 36 and secondary tongues 37 makes it possible at the same time to reduce the passage opening 69 for centering the brush head at insertion by means of the main tongues 36 and to facilitate the insertion of the tongues 36. fringes in the receiving cavity through the secondary tabs 37 further away from the longitudinal axis 27 while maintaining a significant confinement shrinkage by combining all of the tabs 36, 37 confinement.

In addition, the upper edge 41 of each tongue forms with an axis orthogonal to said longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26 an angle less than 90 °, more particularly between 20 ° and 60 °, for example of the order of 45 °. ° for the main tabs 36 and of the order of 27 ° for the secondary tabs 37. Thus, the upper edge 41 of the tongues 36, 37 confinement allows for a flare between the opening 69 passage and the main opening 68 to better guide the fringes 47 and the head 46 of a broom 44 with fringes when they are inserted into the cavity 26 for receiving the wiper basket 24.

In addition, the lower edge 40 of each tongue forms with an axis orthogonal to said longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26 an angle less than 90 °, more particularly between 15 ° and 65 °, for example of the order of 24. ° for the main tabs 36 and of the order of 58 ° for the secondary tabs 37. Thus, the lower edge 40 of the tongues 36, 37 confinement to guide the fringes 47 and the head 46 of a mop 44 when removing them from the cavity 26 for receiving the wiper basket 24.

The thickness of the tongue is between 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm, for example of the order of 3 mm.

More particularly, the secondary containment tabs 37 have major faces 38 having an area smaller than an area of the main faces 38 of the main containment tabs 36.

In particular, the area of the main faces 38 of the main tabs 36 of confinement is for example between 7 cm ² and 10.1 cm ² , more particularly of the order of 8.9 cm ² . The area of the main faces 38 of the secondary tabs 37 of containment is for example between 3.5 cm ² and 7 cm ² , more particularly of the order of 4.25 cm ² .

In addition, the main tabs 36 of confinement have a lower edge 40 having a concave shape (viewed from the inside of the receiving cavity 26). In particular, the lower edge 40 of the main tabs 36 for confinement has a radius of curvature of between 30 mm and 80 mm, more particularly of the order of 40 mm.

In addition, the secondary tabs 37 of containment have a lower edge 40 having a flat shape.

The division of the wiper basket 24 into a perforated tank and an attached crown 34 makes it easier to manufacture the wiper basket 24. Indeed, the perforated vessel and the ring 34 reported can be easily made by simple moldings and low cost and assembled by elastic interlocking. Furthermore, the wiper basket 24 is assembled to a support 23 for holding the wiper basket 24 in a tank of the bucket 21. The support 23 extends around the wiper basket 24 along the longitudinal axis 27 . The support 23 comprises a wall of which a portion forms a flange, said flange 49 of assembly, projecting from the support 23 in a direction opposite to the basket 24 of spinning. In particular, the rim 49 of assembly has a housing 50 of shape conjugated to at least a portion of a periphery of an opening of the bucket 21. Thus, the rim 49 of assembly can be placed on this portion of the periphery of the opening of this bucket 21 to assemble the wringer 22 bucket 21. Furthermore, the flange 49 assembly and the periphery of the bucket opening 21 comprise conjugated fasteners. The assembly rim 49 also includes projections 72 placed on a lateral face of the housing 50 of the assembly rim 49 and extending towards the longitudinal axis 27. These projections 72 are adapted to be positioned below and in contact with the periphery of the bucket 21.

The wiper basket 24 is guided in rotation relative to the support 23 of the wringer 22. To do this, a ring 57 centered on the longitudinal axis 27 is placed on a part of the wall of the support 23 extending around of the lateral part of the perforated tank, around the longitudinal axis 27 and being orthogonal to this longitudinal axis 27. The ring 57 has a circular groove 58 on a face opposite to a face of the ring 57 placed against the wall of the support 23. A cage 59 comprising rolling members 60 is placed on the groove 58 of the ring 57. In particular, the rolling members 60 are balls. The ring 34 attached to the wiper basket 24 comprises a collar 61 projecting from the cylindrical wall 35 opposite the tongues 36, 37 for confinement. The flange 61 has a circular groove 62 facing the groove 58 of the ring 57 and placed on the cage 59 and the rolling members 60 so as to form a device 73 for guiding rotation about the longitudinal axis 27 of the basket. 24 In addition, the tabs 36, 37 for confinement of the ring gear 34 that passes through the openings 29 of the perforated tank 25 make it possible to transmit a torque between the perforated tank 25 and the guiding device 73. in rotation. Furthermore, the guiding device 73, in particular the lateral portions of the guiding device 73 orthogonal to the ring 57 and the collar 61, is protected against splashing liquid. To do this, the cylindrical wall of revolution of the ring gear 34 extends into the openings 29 of said perforated tank 25 from a height at which the wall portion of the support 23 supporting the ring 57 of the device 73 The guide is positioned up to a height greater than a maximum height of the openings 29 of the perforated tank. Thus, the cylindrical wall of revolution of said ring 34 reported prevents that projections of liquid can reach the guiding device 73 through the openings 29 of said perforated tank. In addition, the support 23 comprises a rib 56, said protective rib, circular, centered on the longitudinal axis 27 and extending along a side portion of the guiding device 73 opposite to the lateral portion of the device 73 of guidance facing the longitudinal axis 27. The wall of said perforated tank comprises a portion 63 folded outside the receiving cavity 26 and extending from the main opening 68 about the longitudinal axis 27 to the rib 56 of the support 23 so as to extend along the rib 56 of the support 23 to cover at least partly a height of the rib 56 of the support 23. Thus, the portion 63 folded of the perforated vessel 25 and the rib 56 protection of the support 23 prevent liquid splashes can reach the guiding device 73 through the opening 68 main wiper basket 24. The folded portion 63 of the perforated tank 25, the rib 56 for protecting the support 23 and the cylindrical wall 35 of the revolution of the ring 34 attached thus make it possible to define a protective enclosure against splashing liquid, the guiding device 73 being positioned in the protective enclosure.

In addition, the portion 63 folded of the perforated tank 25, the rib 56 of the support 23 and the cylindrical wall of rotation of the crown 34 reported allow to maintain the transverse device 73 guiding. The rib 56 for protecting the support 23 comprises gadroons 74 extending towards the longitudinal axis 27 making it possible to adjust the position of the ring 57.

Furthermore, the support 23 comprises an anti-projection lateral wall 51 extending around the lateral part of the perforated tank 24 of the wiper basket 24. The anti-projection side wall 51 is cylindrical of revolution. It makes it possible to prevent splashes of water outside the bucket 21 by the openings 29 of the perforated tank 25 when the fringes 47 are wringed out.

Furthermore, the anti-projection side wall 51 has a flange 52 circular about the central axis on one side of the side wall facing the central axis. In particular, the flange 52 extends on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26. In addition, the flange 52 is positioned in housings 55 placed on a periphery of a face of the side portion of the perforated vessel 25 opposite the receiving cavity 26.

The housings 55 are formed on each spindle 30 of the tank

Perforated between a first shoulder 75 of the rib 53 of this spindle 30 and a second shoulder 54 of this spindle 30 facing said first shoulder 75. Thus, the collar is fitted into the housings 55 by elastic deformation of the spindles 30.

The housings 55 have a length sufficient not to prevent the rotation of the wiper basket 24 relative to the anti-projection side wall 51. In addition, the housing 55 can maintain the basket 24 of spinning along the longitudinal axis 27.

The flange 52 makes it possible to hold the basket 24 for spinning together at the anti-projection side wall 51 while allowing the rotation of the wiper basket 24.

The wringer 22 also comprises an anti-spray cover 64 placed above the main opening 68 of the wiper basket 24 and having an opening 70 for the passage of a head 46 of a mop pad 44.

In particular, the aperture 70 for passing the anti-projection cover 64 is preferably circular. For example, the opening 70 of the passage of anti-projection cover 64 has a diameter of between 100 mm and 150 mm, more particularly of the order of 128 mm.

The anti-projection cover 64 has a wall covering the main opening 68 of the wiper basket 24 to the opening 70 for the passage of the anti-projection cover 64.

The wall of the anti-splash hood 64 is deposited on a shoulder 65 of the support 23 of the wringer 22 and is fixed to this support 23. To this end, the anti-projection cover 64 comprises projections 66 which are deformable in bending so as to can be nested by elastic deformation in windows 67 of the support 23 of the wringer 22.

The anti-projection cover 64 makes it possible to prevent splashes of water outside the bucket 21 through the main opening 68 of the basket when the fringes 47 are wringed. A head 46 carrying flexible and absorbent fringes 47 44 mop is introduced into a wiper basket 24 according to the invention in Figures 6 and 7. The fringes 47 are then placed in the cavity 26 for receiving the wiper basket 24. In particular, the soft and absorbent fringes 47 can be of any kind and / or of any size. For example, the fringes 47 may be bands or fibers, of cotton or fabric, synthetic or natural, of different length and thickness. In addition, the head 46 of the blade 44 may be of any type and / or of any shape and / or of any size, since this brush head 44 is adapted to be able to pass, with the fringes 47, through the opening 68 main and the opening 69 passage of the ring 34 reported. It may be in particular both a head 46 of brush 45 adapted to be rotated, that a head 44 of brush 44 fixed relative to the handle 45 of the blade 44. In particular, the head 46 of broom 44 has a circular face on which are assembled the fringes 47.

The central protuberance 31 makes it possible to raise at least a portion of the fringes 47 against the perforated tank 25 towards the lateral part of the perforated tank 25 when such a force is exerted. The fringes 47 are then pressed against the wall 76 of the perforated tank 24 of the wiper basket 24. The concave shape (seen from the inside of the receiving cavity 26) of the wall of the perforated tank 25 between the bottom and the lateral part of the wall of said perforated tank 25 makes it possible to accompany the fringes 47 towards the lateral part. of the perforated tank.

The tabs 36, 37 make it possible to fold the fringes of a mop up on the side portion of the perforated wall towards these tongues 36, 37 in the receiving cavity when a pressing force is exerted by a mop head. fringes towards the bottom of the receiving cavity. Thus, the tabs 36, 37 of the ring 34 reported allow the confinement of the fringes 47 of a broom 44 with fringes in the cavity 26 for receiving between the lower edge 40 of the tabs 36, 37 of confinement and said bottom 28 of said bowl Openwork. In particular, the concave shape of the lower edge 40 of the main tabs 36 confinement facilitates the winding of the fringes 47 so as to optimize the confinement of the fringes in the cavity 26 of reception.

In addition, the head 46 of the mop blade 44 can be rotated by a handle 45 comprising a worm. The rotation of the head 46 of the mop pad 44 makes it possible to spin fringes 47 of this blade 44 by means of a centrifugal effect resulting from this rotation. In addition, the centrifugal effect makes it possible to maintain the fringes 47 pressed against the wall 76 of the perforated vessel 25 so as to increase the compression of the fringes 47 against the wall 76 of the perforated vessel 25 so that the effectiveness of the spinning fringes 47 is tenfold. The device 73 for guiding a wiper device 20 according to the invention allows the wiper basket 24 to be rotated relative to the bucket 21 when the head 46 of the wiper blade 44 is rotated.

The liquid escaping from the fringes 47 during the spin is poured into the bucket 21 through the openings 29 of the perforated tank 24 of the wiper basket 24.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the perforated vessel 25 also comprises a plurality of fins 77, for example six fins 77, extending radially in the receiving cavity 26 from the lateral portion of receiving cavity 26 to the bottom of the cavity 26 of reception towards the longitudinal axis 27 of the receiving cavity 26 so as to divide the cavity receiving quarter while maintaining a central space of the free receiving cavity 26 to place the head 46 of a broom 44 with fringes . The fins 77 can separate the fringes 47 of a broom 44 with fringes in the quarters of the cavity. Thus, the fins 77 make it possible to improve the confinement of the fringes 47 of a mop pad 44 in the receiving cavity 26. They also allow better evacuation of the liquid because they prevent water escaping from the fringes 47 placed in a neighborhood of the receiving cavity 26 is absorbed by the fringes 47 placed in a different area of the cavity 26 of reception. In addition, the fins 77 serve to stabilize the spin drying basket by keeping the head of the mop centered on the longitudinal axis 27. More particularly, the distance between diametrically opposite fins 77 in the receiving cavity 26 decreases towards the bottom of the receiving cavity 26 so as to hold the head 46 of the mop pad 44 when it is sinking into the cavity 26 when a pressure force is exerted by the handle 45 of the brush 44 to fringe to rotate the head 46 of the brush 44 to fringes.

A wiper device 20 according to the invention therefore makes it possible to combine the compression of the fringes 47 of a mop pad 44 against the perforated tank 24 of the wiper basket 24 and the centrifugal effect resulting from the rotation of the head 46. of this broom 44 with fringes so as to optimize the spinning of the fringes 47 of this broom 44 with fringes.

A wiper device 20 according to the invention thus makes it possible to wring soft and absorbent fringes 47 of a mop 44 with fringes rapidly and in a non-exhausting manner for a user.

The invention therefore relates to a wiper basket 24, a wringer 22 comprising such a basket and a wiper 20 comprising such a wringer 22 adapted to wring flexible and absorbent fringes 47 of a mop broom 44 in a simple manner , fast, not requiring dexterity for a user and being suitable for any type of mop broom 44 The invention also relates to such a wiper basket 24 adapted to spin any type of fringes assembled to any type of mop head.

For example, the ring 57 of the support 23 and the bucket 21 may be formed in a single piece of molded synthetic material. In addition, the perforated vessel and the attached ring 34 may be formed in a single piece defining the wiper basket 24. Furthermore, a circular rim about the longitudinal axis 27 and protruding from the side portion of the perforated vessel 25 towards the longitudinal axis can be used in place of the tongues 36, 37 confinement to form a narrowing confinement.

In certain embodiments, the wiper basket 24 is guided in rotation relative to the bucket 21 by means of a guide device 73 assembled to said bottom 28 of said perforated tank. For example, a bearing, such as a ball bearing, can be placed in a housing of said bottom 28 of said perforated tank placed on a face of said bottom 28 of said perforated tank opposite the cavity 26 for receiving the basket. A shaft oriented along an axis of rotation of the wiper basket 24 can be placed in the bearing and connected to a support 23 of the wringer 22 extending at least between a bottom of the bucket 21 and said bottom 28 of said vat. openwork.
